Objectives
- Specification of interfaces and provision of a control and timing system to allow multiple detectors to be linked together.
- Develop a central data acquisition software and run control to enable multiple detectors to be combined in one experiment.
- Develop monitoring systems to automatically check the data quality.
- Develop a system to monitor the environmental conditions, such as temperature, of several detectors.
- Define an event for online data where data is combined from detectors with very different signals and properties.
